Backcountry.com Himal Beanie

Hand-knit by Himalayans—for real. The Backcountry.com Himal Beanie comes straight from the source, but unlike bottled water the Himal keeps your head warm. Crafted by people who know how to stay warm, this fleece-lined wool beanie holds back Winter’s frigid halitosis. The Himal’s wool exterior sheds light moisture naturally and maintains a natural wind-resistance, while the soft fleece liner keeps sweat out of your eyes when you’re getting after it. Wear it skiing, wear it to the pub, wear it wherever, just remember—only the most badass of badasses wear pom poms.

Bottom Line: Warm.

Nepalese-made goodness

By:
December 22, 2008

I'm still not sure how you pronounce "Nepalese", but regardless, those mountain natives make a sweet hat. The wool is toasty on the top and the fleece over the ears keeps it from being itchy. It is a good fit for a narrow shaped dome. Also, the carbon color on mine actually is an identical match to my BC Shift softshell. A pleasant surprise. Like always, wool performs way better than the pervasive acrylic materials in beanies. Support your neighborhood sherpa, buy a himal.

Great coverage, though the fleece lining is only on the inside of the flaps and a band around the bottom. Still sweet though.

Definitely - I have about the same size head as you and the Himal Beanie fits me well, with good ear coverage.

These are in universal sizes. Check out all of backcountry.com's beanies. They're really nice for fit, warmth and longevity! I've been really happy.In my experience men and women don't have different head sizes.

The Himal is wunderbar. It fit's over the ears nicely. The fleece part only covers the ears though and the hat is not wind proof obviously.

NIce hat. But there is only a partial fleece lining. I am looking for something with full fleece lining for those bone chilling sub-freezing VT ski days.

real pompoms for real weather

By:
May 27, 2009

Spring hadn't quite sprung on the Siberian tundra when I took cover under my Himal Beanie. Temps around -10C (low teens F) couldn't touch my ears once I laced the pompoms under my beard; on calm days, I stayed nice and toasty warm. The crown of my head got pretty cold on windy days, tho' -- where the hat isn't lined, the wind can cut through real bad (the lining is kinda a headband that also covers the earlobes). Granted, I got no hair up top, so your mileage may vary...

I'm really liking this beanie. Soft fleece, no scratchy and keeps me very, very warm. Might be a little snug if you've got a huge head.

Works great for AL winters

By:
December 22, 2008

I know an "Alabama Winter" doesn't sound like much - until the ultra-cold wind hits one's ears!! The Himal works great for this. The lining in the flaps is very soft and warm and blocks wind and rain nicely even if the ties are not tied. The unlined part is also warm without being confining or uncomfortable.
